Heal, Grow, and
Live Your Life to its full potential

I thank Michelle so much and would recommend her to move through grief in a positive, healthy and compassionate way

I was in a grief group for people who lost their spouses with Michelle Peticolas. I loved the way she facilitated the group with compassion, love, and kindness. She didn’t use the old paradigm of control to facilitate the group. Everyone had time to share and everyone felt heard and cared for. She is a deep and awakened person, which I appreciated.

I felt this was the reason that I was able to move through my grief in a healthy and compassionate way and I was able to find another person to love me in a way that I have never been loved before because I learned to allow them to love, nurture and care for me in a way that I couldn’t before this group.

I thank Michelle so much for this wonderful experience and I would recommend her either for group or individual consulting to move through grief in a positive, healthy and compassionate way.

Michelle has an extremely powerful and special gift of being able to guide someone through this important process in a nurturing, supportive way.

My session with Michelle was quite unique and revealing. She helped me understand and heal from some traumatic experiences from the past. My time spent with her also enabled me to look forward to the future without fear or uncertainty of what comes after death.

She helped me choose actions to help myself, which have proven to be very helpful in moving forward.

In one session with Michelle, I got a lot of clarity and validation of feelings I hadn’t acknowledged before. I sensed her depth of loving understanding and full presence with me. She helped me choose actions to help myself, which have proven to be very helpful in moving forward. I know now I have someone I can turn to who doesn’t need a lot of explaining, and who will meet me right where I am.

I feel better physically, mentally and spiritually. I have a clear plan of what my next steps are. I know I’m going to be ok.

When I first started Michelle’s program, I felt so angry and frustrated with my life. I was still grieving the loss of my wife 5 years ago and I was stuck. But I really questioned spending the money because there are a lot of other things I could have done with it. Now that I’m finished, I can say that working with Michelle was totally worth it. I feel better physically, mentally and spiritually. I am more confident and more open with my feelings. I have a clear plan of what my next steps are and what I need to do to keep this happening. I know I’m going to be ok.

I felt validated and encouraged

Michelle has a very tender thoroughness that goes straight to the heart of emotional inquiry. I felt validated and encouraged to pull the diamonds of truth from the grief still remaining. She gave me encouragement to keep moving in the direction of forgiveness.

I was impressed by Michelle’s ability to guide me. I was able to more clearly recognize the root cause of ongoing stressful issues.

I was impressed by Michelle’s ability to guide me with a few key words or comments. The clouds would part and I was able to cut through the verbiage to more clearly recognize the root cause of ongoing stressful issues. With her guidance, I was led to more positive considerations as to how to modify or change stressful issues. She seemed to know what life is about and was capable of guiding all in the support group, even the most reticent, to open up with her approach. I appreciated her calmness and strength.

This has put things in perspective. It made me realize how vulnerable the patients are and how my interactions with them can affect them.

I really enjoyed being in Michelle’s group.

I really enjoyed being in Michelle’s group. Even though the other members were much older and no one had young children like me, I found common ground with everyone and I got a lot from it. I especially appreciated Michelle — her comfort, insights, connections, the opportunity she gave me to go deep and explore the spiritual side. I think she’s wonderful.

Probably the most real and heartfelt dialogue between patients I have witnessed

I have hosted many patient events at the Cancer Center and the discussion which Michelle facilitated, on “Facing Death”, was probably the most real and heartfelt dialogue between patients I have witnessed. I could tell that these patients and caregivers were just waiting for an opportunity to talk about their thoughts, hopes and fears about death, and you offered them the venue to do just that.

Michelle has integrity like no other person in my entire 40+ years of experience working with other life coaches, therapists, spiritual teachers, etc.

While working with Michelle, I discovered she has the integrity like no other person in my entire 40+ years of experience working with other life coaches, therapists, spiritual teachers, etc. She does what she says and sticks to her word like no other. Her boundaries are firm and straightforward, yet she bends “softly” at the right moment when I need her to hear me at a deep humane and spiritual level. After my feeling betrayed by other coaches, therapists, and yoga teachers throughout my life, Michelle has restored my faith in her as a conscientious, aware, and human healer. That is a good start for me.
